What I'm looking for

I'm looking to drive procurement transformation, digital procurement, and AI-enabled process improvement, while strengthening source-to-contract frameworks, supplier governance, and supplier relationship management.

At Grünenthal Group, I manage Business Process Owner strategy for Source-to-Contract and Supplier Relationship Management in a global pharmaceutical environment.

Previously at CNH Industrial, I led supplier compliance, global purchasing procedures, and purchasing-process harmonization, supporting the rollout of SAP Ariba and SAP HANA global procurement tools. I built a high-performing cross-location team, value-stream mapped existing activities, and eliminated or automated inefficiencies while protecting compliance and service continuity.

My experience spans pharmaceuticals, agriculture, commercial vehicles, and rail, including procurement, supplier development, process mapping, policy governance, and training. I'm particularly interested in procurement transformation, digital procurement, and AI-enabled process improvement.
